The Raven, starring John Cusack, opens this weekend, and if you haven't heard anything about it, the fabulously idiotic premise is that on the eve of his death, Edgar Allen Poe has to help police stop a serial killer who's been referencing Poe's stories in his murders.

THIS WEEK IN POSTERS: Okay, I don't like to bore you guys with too much of the behind-the-scenes around these parts, but just to clarify, I wasn't lying when I said that I was moving this feature to Wednesdays.

Perhaps hoping to top their ideas for the story of Moses in the style of the 300 and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Hollywood's latest idea is to have John Cusack play Edgar Allen Poe, but set in an alternate universe where Poe is trying to stop a murder, rather than just marinating his insides with sweet, sweet booze.
